    Maximilian Zipkes designed this six-story tenement in 1905 for the developers Cohen & Kraft, who built it as one of three new-law buildings at 57 to 63 Thompson Street. Its Renaissance Revival trim includes terra-cotta window surrounds, bracketed keystones and banded brickwork. A decorative fire escape went on during construction, and the old ground-floor storefront has since been converted to apartment use.
